We will define Betrayal Trauma Theory and discuss specific forms of betrayal trauma, including Institutional Betrayal Trauma and Cultural Betrayal Trauma, providing examples of each in the context of child welfare. The impact of betrayal trauma will be explored from an intergenerational perspective, along with strategies for identifying betrayal trauma and its consequences. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of considerations for strengths-based, trauma-informed treatment planning and relational healing.

In 2026, social work continues to evolve far beyond its traditional boundaries of case management and counseling. Today’s social workers are data-informed advocates, systems thinkers, and community innovators. They leverage technology, cross-sector partnerships, and policy engagement to address complex issues such as mental health, climate justice, housing insecurity, and digital equity. The modern social worker operates at the intersection of human care and systemic change—balancing compassion with innovation to build more resilient, equitable communities.

This live webinar presentation will review the neurobiological benefits of play for adults, covering the properties of play, assessing the audience’s own level of playfulness, differences in play for the purpose of therapy or simply for “FUN”.

Explanation of how to incorporate these play modalities into clinical practice will be explored through experiential exercises with the audience.
